Hello everyone, my name is Türkay. This is my first post. ^.^ I hope I am writing it on correct forum.
I want to create mesh clothings. I know how to make rigging etc. but I am stuck at one point, which is I need a body to work on it for creating my clothes. So do you know how can I get Second Life bodies? I plan to create clothes and sell them.

Hello every one!
I've been on SL for a long time and I'm still desperately trying to replicate the flesh behind the screen. Unlike most of the males I've seen on SL, I have no desire for a ripped rock hard stomach packed with abs, I'd prefer my wholesome, well fed, average body that I have RL. Currently, I am sporting the Belleza Jake body with a Catwa Dino head. I tried using the V-Tech Mod for the Matriya body, aka a Female body with a male chest, so that I could have a regular stomach and arms, but it just wasn't looking right and the complete abandonment of the Belleza Jake would leave me with a lot of clothes that will no longer fit.
If anyone has skin suggestions to help hide those abs, or maybe even shapes, please shout me out!
I don't know what body this is, or if it even is a body in SL, but this would be my desired end result for how i want my body on SL to look.

Hi, I'm new to SL and wanted to get some head&body mesh but I'm really confused which one works with which because there's a ton of them. For example, I want to buy a Genesis head mesh but what body mesh goes with it? Does brand matter? Do you have to apply skin to the head mesh? What is a bento head? And which is the best price?
I'm sorry for so many questions but yeah I'm really confused

Well I am here again ^^
Some time ago I opened a thread about mesh bodies vs classic avatars and all that.
I ask it now because couldn't find an answer anywhere else.
Oh I am checking out for a mesh body, I got a classic one.
Taking a short 3 hours look at the marketplace (lol I am a girl so what ), I found a shape with this description:
"Avatar Shape to wear with the Maitreya Mesh Body"
So,
isn't BODY and SHAPE the same think?
I mean I can tell apart shape and skin, because they're different objects in our inventory. These are avatar components, or I thought.
can anyone tell me what's the difference between shape and body please?

How would I get started with a mesh body? I know of Maitreya Lara and TMP but I'm looking to go into Maitreya or Slink. How and where would I find the actual bodies? in store? in marketplace? Where should I look to get started on how this works?

Hello! I use blender and avastar to make my own body.
It's a mesh body of others (A), which has been bound to a skeleton(a). I use the upper part of it to creat my body(B), and binds it to another skeleton(b). I adjust the skeleton(b) to make it same with (a), and I convert body(A)'s weight to body(B), so either the skeleton or weight is same. I didn't do anything with this part of mesh in blender. And i upload both A and B into SL. As a result, other parts of body fits well as it should do, but some parts (which belongs to Chest joint) doesn't fit. The Chest of B is always bigger than the A. Also, clothes from other creators fit with A, but not B. Obviouly there's problem with B's Chest, but I dont know. I tried to adjust deform bone Chest in blender but it doesn't work as I thought. So, why don't they fit? Or, what influences the Chest and makes it bigger than it shall be? Is there anything i missed?
Thank you for your help! I've been working on this issue for 3 whole days...

Hello! Help please customize the mesh avatar! Head of Catwa Catya, body of Mitreya Lara. Skin Glam Affair Rina. The problem is that I can not connect the head with the body without a visible transition on the neck. how to do it? if it's the settings, then what should they be?
Thanks for any help!
Сan it be matter of specularity? if you set the same values, the transition disappears?

Hello!! I am looking for someone to make me a custom skin, I am willing to pay your rates, or negotiate a price if you don’t have rates.
or
If someone could recommend some good Asian skins for catwa or (preferably) Lelutka heads
I haven’t been able to find any good ones, I have tried Fiore and Boatoam
Thanks, kawaiiduirii

Hi,
I purchased the Maitreya Lara body, but the body is nowhere to be found in my inventory. I also lost all of the lindens I used to buy it. It is not showing in my purchase history, so I cannot request a redelivery. What should I do?

I've been trying out a demo pack of L'Etre skins, and there is an applier for Omega Body included with the pack, along with appliers for Belleza, Gianni, and Slink. I've looked around in market place, and did an in world search, but I can't find the Omega body anywhere. All I see is a store in Marketplace that sells appliers for various vendors. Is Omega a mesh body vendor, or something else??

Okay, so I have had several people recommend the Belleza - Jake body, But I cannot find it in the marketplace and No one has told me where I may be able to get it In SL. I have seen it on blogs and been able to find mesh clothing for the avatar but as to finding the body itself or even the seller I'm at a loss. I am sure someone on the forums knows where to get it so I figured my best bet was to ask on here and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Hopefully I will be able to find it soon.

I'm new to SL and I tried looking up the answers to some of my questions but I couldn't understand them tbh and I've bought so many things and applicators to try and fix my issue. Also I apologize of this subject is in the wrong place. I read that only certain types of clothes work on certain avatars? Like mesh and layers. I bought a CATWA head and I know how to use everything head wise, but the clothes I buy don't look right on my avatars body. I'm using the classic avatar and her body is all box like compared to others on SL and I wondered if there is a way for me to fix it, like steps without having to change the skin I picked ( because the only body corrector I tried had mesh skin that came with it ) I want to know if there is a way to make the shape more round. And I noticed there are hands and feet to apply that some stores sell for more detail, would I need those too? I've even bought body types but they don't look right and I think I need something to edit the shape to make it smooth because no matter how much I edit my body shape it looks, off and noob like. I've link some pictures last picture is what I have in my inventory. Someone told me that the alpha files are to hide body parts ( they msg me this after seeing my atrocious avatar ) and I don't know how I'd use those, I don't want to hide all my body parts because that leaves nothing but a floating head. Also thank you, in advance, to everyone who replies in reply to my questions.

Hi. I wanted to discuss heated topic. Lately many designers have been doing maitreya exlusive sizes only. Do you think they should go for the one that sells the most, since 80% of female mesh body users prefer Maitreya. Or they should also continue to rig for Slink, Belleza and other bodies?
p.s just realized i posted in the wrong forum category

Hello,
From time to time I see that my avatar gets kind of deformed like on this pic:
https://gyazo.com/b11880bcb58645b7e0b6b4233d156223
Relogging helps but after I teleport to another place it sometimes comes back (sometimes not - I know, it's weird).
I use Maitreya Body and Catwa Head
I wonder why it happens and if there is any solution to this.

Hi there.
Well I'd beg a little bit patience please lol cause i am still novice about shapes and skins and mesh and that stuff.
So this is my question ¿Why does my shape always look like er... so polygonal?
I don't remember very well how I got it, but it's certainly a freebie or really cheap shape that I got somewhere else.
I know basic shapes just give you that, basic quiality, but trouble is that I did bought some new demo shapes from store, because I wanted to get a better shape, and I got confused when I realised that those new shapes (demos) had the same quite polygonal aspect.
So I was afraid to buy a new shape for nothing, because I thing those new shapes will have the same problem.
So is this a matter of skin? is it the shape? is it my viewer?
I am not looking so realistic high detailed shapes that take half salary away from you, just one that doesn't look so polygonal like my current basic shape.
I've been spying (lol) other girls around, and realised that some of them seem to have the same aspect. But others look so amazing damn! :b for example this one:
So what do you suggest me to do?

In general, my apathy towards all things here has continued to rise but I have a grease monkey script installed in firefox that shows the Marketplace keywords right there on the listing and it's just sad when you see respected merchants utterly spamming their listings with just about anything. Examples for completely different products from the same merchant:-
Top:
Keywords: sexy,top,sheer,beach,holidays,twisted,satin,folds,lycra,ruched,fun,metals,shiny,soft,lara.body,bust,gorgeous,breast,attractive,glamour,flirt,fashion,style,beautiful,seductive,pretty,erotic,50 shades,
Bra:
Keywords: sexy,top,sheer,party,holidays,valentines day,satin,,lycra,ruched,fun,metals,shiny,soft,lara.body,bust,gorgeous,breast,attractive,glamour,flirt,fashion,style,beautiful,seductive,pretty,erotic,50 shades
Coat:
Keywords: sexy,top,sheer,beach,holidays,twisted,satin,folds,lycra,ruched,fun,metals,shiny,soft,lara.body,bust,gorgeous,breast,attractive,glamour,flirt,fashion,style,beautiful,seductive,pretty,erotic,50 shades,
Sweater:
Keywords: clothes,clubwear,fashion,female,flashy,funky,hot,neon,outfit,block,print,seamless,sexy,stylish,teen,mesh,casual,chic,loose,off shoulder,country,top,sweater,pullover,color block,
Shorts:
Keywords: sporty,sport,skirt,fabric,zipper,gold,colors.colorful,nice,comfortable,shorts,fabric,jeans,denim
Occasionally, they actually get a word in there that matches the product but other than that the rest is just utter spam. Any suggestion that all that has to be done is to flag the item for keyword spam is pointless because for most items, the MP created problem of multiple listings for different colours exists. So, you would have to go through a dozen listings and flag each one, for each product. Anyone got time to go through 1685 listings which is the number in the store?
Maybe that's the solution to getting products DE-LISTED for keyword spam, just spam the MP with multiple items (variation in only the texture).
I don't even suspect that most merchants do this deliberately, they're genuinely trying to get items returned in search but the above just illustrates how pointless keywords are. Consolidation of related listings should have happened a long time ago, maybe limiting each item to say 4 keywords would require merchants to focus somewhat more?

Hello, would somebody kindly help? I would like to add a separate animal head into a human body, but how could I make the normal human head either invisible or small enough, so it would not show through the animal head? I want to use a normal human body, which can wear standard clothes and add an animal skin and head. Or is there a headless body option?

I accidentally bought shoes that require mesh feet. I have never heard of mesh feet until I saw them for sale. Is it really worth having mesh feet or are there enough good shoe choices for regular zero sized feet. I am only interested in having one or two pairs of good shoes and lots of boots. Any takers on this one? Milla

Hi, I'm working on crafting a human avatar at the moment, and I am looking for recommendations on mesh bodies that look good with a smaller chest size and still able to wear clothing that fits that body without anything special to be done to it. I started this new account after god-knows how long I've been here and I am starting fresh, I want this account to feel more at home for me.

I am currently looking to commission a mesh creator, to create a/some big-bellied/fat/pregnant-looking mesh shirt(s) (most likely a t-shirt, and tank) for the signature - gianni mesh body.
That means you will need to obtain a pre-existing shirt for the gianni body via the marketplace, or you'll need to obtain the dev kit which you can do here; https://www.signature-sl.fr/devkits
Yes I'm aware that I could buy one on the marketplace and just modify the stomach(s) of said shirt & tanks.
I would rather stimulate the Second Life economy, as it were, and pay someone to make it for me.
Very flexible on rights/usage a& costs as long as it turns out great~!
